FDA invites comments

The public is being invited to comment on a modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) application submitted by U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. for Copenhagen Snuff Fine Cut.
In a notice issued by the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), the CTP said ‘[t]he Federal Register has issued a notice establishing a docket on regulations.gov to receive public comments on one modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) application submitted by U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. LLC for Copenhagen Snuff Fine Cut.
‘The FDA filed this application on September 14, 2018, for scientific review and will continue to make application materials publicly available, in accordance with applicable laws, on a rolling basis via the CTP website,’ the notice said.
‘Starting … September 21, anyone may submit research, data, or other public comments related to these MRTP applications to docket FDA-2018-N-3261 on regulations.gov.
‘The FDA encourages interested parties to submit public comments earlier in the comment period, as the agency may be less able to review later comments before the MRTP applications are referred to the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee.’
